There was a bloke on the verge of the A36 the other day taking a leak. Thing is, he was facing the traffic, looked like he was trying to splash the cars as they drove by. If the sun ahd been out I reckon he'd have made a nice rainbow.

It's amazing how many people haven't learnt how to drink properly though.

I blame the "8 glasses a day" brigade

Looks very French. Recall being in Munich (or was it Frankfurt?) once and there was this smart dark suited city gent in a crowded central street peeing in one of the concrete flower thingies. Horrible foreign sorts are not nearly so daftly prudish about these things.

Vietnam was shocking for it, people pissing everywhere in the streets.

Do you mean without getting pubes between thier teeth??

Only asking.

At least she stopped though - Imagine if it had been a cycle race!

Yeah, it brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "she pissed by me".

I was watching the local marathon the other week and heard a Niagra like sound emanating from my right. Only a few metres away a woman had her arse in the air and was peeing for England. ...

I was watching the local marathon the other week and heard a Niagra like sound emanating from my right. Only a few metres away a woman had her arse in the air and was peeing for England. When finished (in what seemed like minutes later) she stood up, shook her arse and pulled up her pants, while facing the other runners. No inhibitions at all. Later women started peeing all around the portaloos - some facing away from the runners and some facing them.

This really is turning into a nation of scummers.

I know some "educational" websites that would pay good money to host that.

She must have over hydrated as this was only the three mile mark. When finished (in what seemed like minutes later) she stood up, shook her arse and pulled up her pants, while facing the other runners. No inhibitions at all. The men went in the bushes thankfully. Later women started peeing all around the portaloos - some facing away from the runners and some facing them. Quite funny to see. At least none did a Radcliffe.

But not as weird as fun runs, where women are increasingly seen to be using the side of the road or proximal to a portaloo, in full view, rather than wait for a portaloo to become free.

I’ve never even heard of them, let alone seen them, until this evening. What is more I saw two people use them. I am gob smacked.

Once upon a time people relieved themselves most anywhere. This wasn't nice.

Then the Victorians decided to do something about it and provided free toilets and bathing facilities for the masses.

Then someone realised people will pay to use them.

Then someone realised they still made a loss and closed them down.

Then people had to relieve themselves most anywhere. This wasn't nice.

Just don't expect free bathing facilities. Saving money is more important than the spread of disease through poor hygiene.


One day, the Africans will be putting their pennies into little charity envelopes for us to be allowed free, clean water too.

I wonder why the two on the end have different coloured logos.

Maybe one of the units is reserved for cottaging.

Pissoirs on the streets of London?

Since when did the country turn into France?

Also this evening I’ve had:

• A rude security person at one pub
• A very drunk Scots man who still thinks it’s “All Maggie’s fault”
• Load of idiots on the streets

I was going to stay in tonight, maybe watch the Proms or something, but I couldn’t settle down. “’at’ll learn me”, I am NOT going out on a Saturday night ever again: fraking nutters everywhere.

You should pay a visit to Vauxhall Bus station. There's some street-level Urinals there... you may even get some women use them too.

Our council sometimes sets these up for festivals etc. It is a bit weird seeing them used as other people go about their normal business. But not as weird as fun runs, where women are increasingly seen to be using the side of the road or proximal to a portaloo, in full view, rather than wait for a portaloo to become free.
